Appeals Quote by Samuel Gompers

“One fact stands out in bold relief in the history of man's attempts for betterment. That is that when compulsion is used, only resentment is aroused, and the end is not gained. Only through moral suasion and appeal to man's reason can a movement succeed.” quote by Samuel Gompers — Download Open image
